Chapter 211 Chapter 338 Chapter 339 Judas Thirty Silver Coins Dusk Wolf
But what made General Ross most anxious was that he was not sure what position he held in Carl's heart?
After all, what he can do for Carl, anyone else can do the same.

And as long as the man is willing, there are now a lot of people who are trying their best to hug his big, thick legs.

Even though General Ross had previously expressed many times, explicitly and implicitly, that he wanted to join Carl's army.

But unfortunately, the latter has never given a clear response.

General Ross understood that the other party was testing him!
If he wanted to successfully weld himself firmly to Carl, the ship that could carry him quickly to the road of success, he would have to pay a higher price...

So even though he was extremely anxious now, he didn't dare to show it at all.

I was afraid that this would annoy Carl.

He could only pray silently in his heart that the goddess of luck would favor him again.

Ok?
If only there were angels...

Carl's face showed a hint of surprise. "So, this means that the universe I live in does have [Heavenly Powers]?"

After thinking for a while, Karl asked, "What was lost?"

"This... the Vatican didn't say anything."

General Ross explained somewhat awkwardly, "However, they promised that if you, Mr. Karl, agree to take on this commission, they will not only truthfully inform us of everything, but will also do their best to fulfill one of your requests after completing the mission!"

"Grant me one request?"

Karl wanted to laugh when he heard this. What a big tone!
What do you think? If I ask them for those so-called "holy objects" at that time, will they choose to give them to me, or will they simply refuse to pay?
However, the fact that the [Fatican Church] was willing to make such a promise was enough to show that this incident was quite difficult and the lost items were of great importance.

This couldn't help but arouse Carl's desire to explore.

It doesn't really matter to him whether he asks for it or not.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could learn more about the [Power of Heaven].

Now that he has provoked two [Lords of Hell].

So, based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, how could he miss the opportunity to develop another ally?

then……

"Okay, you can ask someone from the Vatican to contact me directly later."

Carl said meaningfully to General Ross on the other end of the phone, "But this time I'm not doing this to help them, but simply to help you."

"I always respond to requests from my excellent employees, so... Ross, please don't let me down!"

After a period of testing, General Ross obviously met Carl's recruitment standards.

If you want strength, you must have strength; if you want ambition, you must have ambition.

The most crucial thing is that General Ross had been criticized and condemned within the Department of Defense because of his previous failures in the "Hulk Project".

The capital that originally supported him also regarded him as a discarded pawn and no longer provided him with any resources.

General Ross suddenly went from being a popular general to an isolated and helpless marginal figure.

From heaven to hell...reality is so naked and cruel!
Later, by some strange coincidence, General Ross unexpectedly ushered in the second spring of his career through negotiations with Carl!

So now, whether General Ross admits it or not, he has been deeply branded with the mark of the [Subspace Group].

At least that's what it looks like to outsiders...

General Ross must have understood this, which is why he tried his best to provide all the help within his authority in his subsequent contacts with Carl.

He has also expressed his desire to join Carl many times.

There is no way, he now urgently needs a big and thick leg to help consolidate his position!

However, Carl did not mind the other party's ambitions and motives, because he always admired people who had "something going on" in their minds.

I am not afraid that you are ambitious and have aspirations, I am just afraid that you are too mediocre!

Since the other party has withstood the test, today is a good opportunity to clarify the matter and recruit him into my team.

“Mr. Karl… No, Boss, please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down.”

A seasoned veteran like General Ross naturally understood the meaning of Carl's words in seconds, and was overjoyed.

He never imagined that one day he would actually get the big, thick legs he had always dreamed of.

He really became an employee of [Subspace Group]!

As one of the witnesses of Carl's rapid rise, General Ross knows better than anyone else what this special identity represents and how much value it holds!
Power, wealth, strength...

These things that are enough to drive the world crazy will all become readily available after becoming a member of the [Subspace Group]!
The most important thing is, if anything happens, Carl... no, Boss will really protect you!
This alone is a thousand times better than those cunning politicians who say, "I take the benefits and you take the blame."

"Boss, if you don't have any other instructions, I will immediately inform the [Fantigan Vatican] of this news."

General Ross has apparently seamlessly transitioned into the role of "staff."

There's nothing he can do about it. Who told him to want to improve so much?
"Go."

Carl nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that he had gained another outstanding employee... no, he had also become a slave to him!
A few minutes later.

A strange video call came in.

"Dear Mr. Karl Mara, hello, I am Bishop Warren McCoy. I will be fully responsible for all matters concerning this commission."

As soon as the call was connected, a short, fat, and kind-looking cardinal appeared in front of Carl through a holographic projection device.

Afterwards, the other party simply verified Carl's identity and whether he was willing to accept the commission before telling him the true content of the commission.

"Mr. Mara, have you heard the story of the Thirty Silver Pieces?"

【Thirty silver coins】?
Although Carl was a staunch atheist in his previous life.

But when I was a student, I still had some knowledge of those popular religious stories.

"Are you talking about the thirty pieces of silver Judas received for betraying Jesus?"

Karl asked knowingly, "Isn't this an allusion?"

"Yes, although we all know this story and this betrayal, I want to tell you that... these [30 silver coins] really exist!"

Bishop Warren's tone fluctuated slightly. "With only thirty silver coins, you can successfully bribe a devout believer to betray his master. This must sound ironic, right?"

"But no matter what Judas' true motives were at the time, he eventually received the punishment he deserved...and what I'm about to tell you is the unknown second half of this story!"

"After Judas committed suicide out of remorse, perhaps by fate, Matthias, chosen by the apostles by lot to replace him, accidentally discovered Judas' body and the thirty pieces of silver scattered at its feet."

"When Matthias touched the silver coins, he felt the malice and curse left behind by Judas. It was as if his sinful soul had become deeply bound to the coins... rendering them evil and powerful!"

“So he buried the silver coins and Judah’s body in the ground and named that spot the Field of Blood.”

"It wasn't until 1892 that the Papal States, the predecessor of the Fiumicino, accidentally found clues about these silver coins in ancient documents.

After they dispatched people to locate Judas' body and the thirty pieces of silver, they built a special monastery in that area and stationed a large number of devout monks there!

"The reason the Vatican mobilized so many troops is because along with these silver coins, a warning left by Matthias was discovered... These silver coins, which contain powerful evil power, must not be allowed to see the light of day again."

"As loyal believers, the Church heeded the warning, locked the silver firmly underground, and guarded the monastery for generations..."

"Until a month ago, the monastery suddenly lost contact with the Vatican. When we discovered it and sent people there, we found that all the guards of the monastery had been torn to pieces...

Among them was an angel's agent, and the thirty silver coins locked in the underground vault were also missing."

"The murderer didn't leave any traces at the scene, so over the past period of time, we have tried almost every possible way to find clues, both scientific and magical... but in the end, we found nothing."

Bishop Warren did not continue speaking, but politely chose to keep quiet, giving Carl time to digest the above content.

More than a month ago?
Somehow, when Carl heard the date, his mind immediately thought of the altar on Belle Island that connected to hell.

Could it be that the devil who escaped at that time committed the crime?
and many more?

Carl suddenly remembered that during the interrogation of the Beast, he seemed to have heard from it about the Lord of Hell, Marduk Kurios, who seemed to be secretly planning some unknown major events.

He needs Lilith's help to open a dimensional channel from the real world, so he agrees to release the soul of the "original vampire" Varna.

And this big event seems to be related to [Heaven]!!

Σ(°△°|||)︴

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

In order to verify his guess, Carl immediately asked: "Can you tell me the exact time of the attack?"

"Yes, the exact time of loss of contact should be 36 days, 14 hours, 09 minutes and 09 seconds ago."

Damn it, it really was those demons who did this!

Almost at the moment Bishop Warren told the time, Carl had confirmed his guess.

Hehe, that's interesting.

Could it be that the [Lord of Hell] is going to go to war with [Heaven]?
Now Carl's curiosity was completely aroused by this incident.

Anyway, I'm free right now, so it's good to use this matter to relieve boredom.

"Are there any photos of the scene? I want to see them first!"

"Yes, I'll send it to you right away..." Bishop Warren said very consciously, "Mr. Mara, if you ever want to visit the monastery in person, I can always arrange it for you."

After saying that, he took the initiative to hang up the video call.

Tsk tsk, no wonder he could climb to the position of cardinal.

Look at his insight and understanding. Tell me whether he should be a cardinal or not.
Soon, photos of the crime scene were sent over.

Carl opened them one by one and took a look, his brows immediately frowned... because it was too damn miserable!
The screen was full of body parts, internal organs, broken limbs... In short, there was not a single complete body in the entire monastery.

Everyone seemed to be minced alive in a meat grinder.

It is no wonder that the Vatican has tried every possible means but failed to find any useful clues.

Because this is simply not something humans can do!

However, the same problem now faces Carl.

Even though he had guessed that this incident was committed by the men of [Lord of Hell] Marduk Kurios, how to find the key clues from it became a crucial problem at the moment.

As Bishop Warren said, they had exhausted all the means and tactics they could think of.

If there's only a crime scene but no clues, then unless that little death-ghost elementary school kid who likes to say "The scheming frog keeps touching your belly" comes in person, it would be in vain for anyone else to come...

Eh?
Wait!
Carl looked at the blood and minced meat all over the screen, and suddenly a man's figure appeared in his mind... To be precise, it should be an old man!
Maybe that man's ability could be of help?
After all, he possesses the ability to restrain Mystique's transformation through scent, and can even determine the entire process of an incident through scent, and even has a bug-level sense of smell that can directly "smell" the spectrum! !
"Frank, go find me a ride-hailing driver at the [Mexico] border right now. His name is... Logan Howlett!!"

…………

……

【America】Central and southern regions.

[Oklahoma City].

A used car trading market.

"Sir, this car is priced at a minimum of $8200. Honestly, this price is already a good deal..."

A middle-aged female salesperson pointed at a sky blue pickup truck in the parking lot, and an old man with a big beard and a tired face opposite her was trying hard to sell it.

"And I can also give you a free repaint and tire replacement service. After the car is installed and tested, I will help you complete all the relevant procedures. What do you think?"

The bearded man didn't waste any time. He pulled out a thick stack of dollars from a blood-stained envelope and shook it. "I'll give you $10,000, but you have to skip that damn formality."

Under normal circumstances, excluding the preparation stage of submitting a series of documents, the entire vehicle transfer process will take at least 5 to 10 days, just submitting the application, going through the process, and later collecting the new documents!
If it happens to be a holiday during this period, it will be postponed.

And right now, what this bearded man...Logan Howlett, lacks most is time!
Just a day ago, he was still immersed in the law-abiding life of a "private car driver".

Just to make enough money as soon as possible to buy a yacht, and then take Professor X out to sea to face the impending death together.

however.

Such a peaceful life was destroyed by the appearance of two women.

Just a day ago, a Mexican nurse named Gabriela suddenly came to Logan with an 11-year-old girl named Laura, hoping that he could take them to a place called "Garden of Eden" in North Dakota.

He paid a deposit of $3 first and promised to pay the balance of $2 after arriving safely.

Although he guessed that this matter was not that simple, in order to buy the yacht as soon as possible, Logan Howlett gritted his teeth and agreed.

But unexpectedly, disaster struck from then on.

Before leaving, Gabriela was killed in a motel by an armed security group called the Predators.

The group then chased them all the way to the abandoned smelter where Logan Howlett, Professor X, Caliban, and the little girl Laura were hiding.

After a fierce battle, the mutant Caliban was captured, and Logan Howlett had to flee by car with Professor X and Laura.

After a sleepless night of travel, he finally managed to escape from the US-Mexico border to Oklahoma City.

While on the run, Logan Howlett learns the truth about why Gabriela and Laura are being hunted, as well as Laura's true identity, through the video Gabriela left on her phone...

It turns out that a secret experiment has been going on in a subsidiary laboratory of a company called [Aklay Genetics].

That is to use the mutant DNA samples collected early on to breed a new generation of mutant experimental subjects through surrogate mothers in Mexico.

Dr. Sandor Rice, the project leader and founder of Arklay Genetics, hopes to use this technology to monopolize the abilities of mutants and then profit from the weapons market - just like the Vought Group's Transhuman Project.

however.

Although [Akle Genetics] spent a lot of effort on this experiment, the results were not successful.

Because many mutant children who were trained by them as killing machines showed extreme aversion to violence in the process of success.

They don't want to fight, they don't want to kill... they're even willing to commit suicide!

Therefore, these "soldiers" who do not want to fight suddenly become worthless to [Aklay Gene Company].

So they began to adjust their research direction, and then developed a new individual X-24 who was more warlike, more fond of killing, and more obedient to orders!

While this experiment was successful, Dr. Sandor Rice also issued a cruel order to euthanize all the remaining mutant test children...

And Laura is one of the many mutant experiments, project number X-23! !
